Psychological Testing

I specialize in psychological testing and autism evaluation.

I am a clinical psychologist, specializing in psychological testing and autism evaluation. I have over 15 years of experience in evaluating, testing and treating children, adolescents and young adults. Every person who comes into my office has their own, unique story to tell; my favorite part of the day is hearing those stories. I am here to listen. I have dedicated my career to being a guide through psychological assessment and intervening to help your story continue in the direction you want for yourself or your child. I look forward to working with those who are in search of guidance and change in the home, work, and school environments.

Psychological testing can help not only identify but also objectively quantify specific issues, such as ADHD/ADD, learning disorders, anxiety disorder, and mood disorders, that might be holding you or your child back from reaching your full potential. At Bloom, we are known for the high-quality reports we provide to our psychological testing clients. A big part of my role is creating a tailored plan for each client, including referrals for additional services such as occupational and speech therapy. I work closely with other medical professionals, who are my colleagues and friends, to provide the best possible support and treatment options.

Since I joined Bloom in 2017, I have enjoyed guiding my clients through the psychological assessment process to ensure each client’s journey is unique and rewarding by clearing the path to give you and your family a sense of hope.

The results

‘The first time I reviewed a patient report from Dr. Ridel at Bloom, I recall thinking it was one of the most thorough evaluations I’d ever seen, and I was doubly impressed with the extensive and detailed resources and recommendations that were provided in writing to the patient and their family. The quality of their evaluations have been the same superior caliber ever since.”
